Main theme:


Link to my song:

"Lights" by Ellie Goulding
I chose this song for this book because the song seemed like the right theme for the book. For me, a popish song (even though this is pop, haha) or one possibly made by Dj Kahled or Eminem wouldnt fit the theme or feel of the book. This song has a nice tune to it and is one of my personal favorites, and thourghout the song the author is telling a story and it kind of mathces the one being told in the book.

My goodreads review (since the link didint work)

I thought this book was awesome just as the others were. Like I said before, these books add a different twist to the mythological myths and other old tales about Greek mythology. At first I was like really, they are actually making a series about Greek mythology, but my friend convinced me to read it and I did and it was the best Greek mythology book ive read in a long time. I really enjoyed reading and I guess learning about Greek mythology really, it really changed my point of view on anceint Greek Mythology.
